Is doing a business really hard? I don’t think so. Yes, it requires a lot of courage and confidence, but anyone can do it.
Why Do We Give More Respect to Jobs Than Our Own Work?
If you think it’s just to survive, I beg to differ. There are numerous other ways to ensure survival.
If you believe it’s to live a better life, I’d chuckle because a 9–5 job often falls short of defining what a better life truly entails.
Dream fulfillment? Not quite. Jobs seldom align with our deepest aspirations, do they?
So, what’s the real reason?
We work because we’re part of the middle class, molded for jobs by an education system focused solely on that path. For years, we’ve followed this trajectory, but why?
Because Ramesh uncle’s son is a doctor earning 1 lakh per month.
Because Tiwari uncle’s daughter is an engineer bringing in 1.5 lakhs monthly.
Because Kishori uncle’s daughter, despite earning 3 lakhs as a fashion designer, doesn’t receive as much societal respect as Tiwari uncle’s daughter in a job. Our society values job-holders more.
Why?
It’s the societal mindset. Jobs appear easy, stress-free. You clock in, do your 8 hours, and head home. That’s it.
But here’s the catch: we’re not tapping into our full potential. Jobs typically utilize only 20–30% of our skills, while running our own business demands giving 100%. Yet, many shy away from this level of commitment.
Isn’t that true?
